* GodNeverSaidThat: While Peter Laird's hatred of Venus de Milo is rather well-known, many fans who disliked the character mistakenly believed that the franchise's other co-creator Kevin Eastman had the same opinion on Venus. [[http://www.monkeysfightingrobots.com/kevin-eastman-talks-tmnt-2-comic-death-and-venus-de-milo-awesome-con An interview]] with Eastman after Nickeldoeon obtained the rights to the franchise, however, has proved that Kevin likes Venus and hopes for her to make a comeback someday.* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} owning the franchise, and Saban getting the rights back were probably the only reasons this show was finally able to release it in 2012 (at least, in America).

Added DiffLines:

* ExiledFromContinuity: Many noticed how ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever'' featured a number of established alternate versions of the Turtles (some quite obscure), but left out this show. This was most likely due to rights issues, as Saban had sold its library to Disney years earlier. Of course, with Laird still in control during the production of this movie, it's unlikely anything featuring Venus would've appeared anyway.* GodNeverSaidThat: While Peter Laird's hatred of Venus de Milo is rather well-known, many fans who disliked the character mistakenly believed that the franchise's other co-creator Kevin Eastman had the same opinion on Venus.

** Not during the production of the show, but still related to it regardless. Peter Laird's [[BerserkButton hatred of this incarnation]] led to Venus De Milo not returning in the 2003 cartoon and all future incarnations that were under his rule. Only now is there even a ''possibility'' of such a thing happening due to the franchise now being out of Laird's hands.

Peter Laird's [[BerserkButton hatred of this incarnation]] led to Venus De Milo not returning in the 2003 cartoon and all future incarnations that were under his rule. In fact, even ''mentioning'' her was forbidden outside franchise retrospectives and history books. Only now is there even a ''possibility'' of such a thing happening due to the franchise now being out of Laird's hands.

* CreatorBacklash: For your own safety, never, ever, ''[[BerserkButton ever]]'' mention this to To say that franchise co-creator Peter Laird.Laird didn't think highly of this series would be a huge understatement. He especially loathed Venus de Milo to the point that he forbade her from ever being so much as mentioned in any other continuity for the duration that the franchise was in his hands. Many believed that the same held true for the franchise's other co-creator Kevin Eastman, but the trope below proves otherwise.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: If the series had continued past the first season Splinter would have been KilledOffForReal (probably by the Dragonlord). Some fans think this dramatic development just might have been worth putting up with everything else.

Reason: I've decided that simply warning people not to mention this show to Peter Laird is not enough to explain why this counts as Creator Backlash.

* ApprovalOfGod: In contrast to Peter Laird, the other franchise's co-creator Kevin Eastman actually likes Venus de Milo as a character and even hopes that she can make a comeback someday now that the franchise is out of Laird's hands.

* ExecutiveMeddling: It is believed that Venus De Milo's creation was a result of this, though nothing was confirmed.

Reason: Adding proof that Kevin Eastman said he likes Venus in an interview so that skeptical detractors don't remove this trope entry and continue their stubborn insistance to acknowledge that Venus is more of a Base Breaking Character than The Scrappy.
